climate change is when the weather changes becuase of the enviroment and the humidity
1 of 23
what happens at the first stage of climate change
the sun rays light to earth
2 of 23
what happens at the second stage of climate chnage
the green house gases become thicker
3 of 23
what happens at the third stage of climate change
the suns temperature stays within the earth because of the gases
4 of 23
what happens at the fourth stage of climate change
it then causes the earths ice to melt and the sea levels rise

6 of 23
what are the physical causes
the physical causes are: deforestation, CFC, Cows, Pollution, Land waste, fossill fuels
7 of 23
Deforesation
deforestation is a cause because burning trees releases more carbon dioxide into the atmostphere with less trees less carbon dioxide is being obsorbed
8 of 23
Cows
cows cause climate change because when cows belch they realease a gas called meatheone
9 of 23
CFC
Refrigerating- which are not disposed of curretly release CFC when the foam insulation inside them is shedded
10 of 23
CFC
Air conditioning- the coolants used in air con system create CFC which are safe in a closed system but can be released if aeplones are not disposed of correcly
11 of 23
Land waste
Land waste is a causes because the wate isnt being recycled so it contaminates the soil and water

volcanoes
volcanoes are actually a good thing if they errupt because when they errupt the ashes from the errupt block out the heat from the suns ray
17 of 23
mealting ice
mealting ice is a causes because if the ice mealts meathane, CO2, are realeased into the atmosphere

GLOBAL EFFECTS
GLOBAL EFFECTS
19 of 23
sea levels rise
sea level rises because the ice melts away leaving behind water
20 of 23
more extreme weather
more extreme and more variable weather including floods, droughts, hurricanes becoming more frequent and intense
21 of 23
increase in tropical diseases
as warmer areas expand and more suitable conditions for the mosquito to exist
22 of 23
increase on forest fires
due to change in tempearture it causes fires
